"Just what I needed!"

I landed up in Hartford overnight unexpectedly as my sister was suddenly ill. I booked at the last moment. The hotel is a 25 minute walk from the hospital and that suited me perfectly. I got the last available room, a king. I was happy with my stay. The room had a bathtub as well as a shower and as I had had a long day, a bath was welcome. The room was quiet and I slept well. The complimentary breakfast was far better than I expected. There was a choice of a couple of dry cereals, instant oatmeal, scrambled eggs, apples, bagels you could toast yourself, various buns and muffins, waffles, etc. What I liked best, I think, was the friendliness of all the staff I encountered. The nice man at reception took care of my bag after I checked out until I left for the bus station hours later. The hotel is right around the corner from the bus and train station.
